My mother was 34 yo when she gave birth to me and as we know mother's age correlates with the chance of a kid having not only Down Syndrome but also Autism.
“Independent and Dependent Contributions of Advanced Maternal and Paternal Ages to Autism Risk,” published online Feb. 8 by the journal Autism Research, is one of the largest population-based studies to quantify how each parent's age — separately and together — affects the risk of having a child with autism.
The study found that the incremental risk of having a child with autism increased by 18 percent for every five-year increase in the mother’s age. A 40-year-old woman’s risk of having a child later diagnosed with autism was 50 percent greater than that of a woman from 25 to 29 years old."
